April Jones Cause of Death: What Happened to April Jones

On the evening of October 1, 2012, April Jones attended swimming lessons at a local leisure centre while her mother and father attended a parents’ evening at her school.

Approximately 20 minutes after allowing April to leave the house, her mother Coral set out to search for her. Having been unable to find her, Coral called the police to report her daughter was missing.

The first officer on the scene spoke to a child witness who reported seeing April climbing a grey van. On March  27, 2013, police revealed that they would call off the search at the end of April after being unable to locate her body, and on April 22, police confirmed that the search had officially ended.

This was the largest missing person search in UK police history.
